Every Scar Has Its Story

Chapter 17 Holding Hands

I moved and this time he wasn't clinging on me.

" Jax..."

" Hey Thea!"

Thank God ,Walter is here. What is it I got myself into?

" Hi, nice catching up with you Jax. I have to go now."

" Oh you mean we have to go."

" Thea, what's going on here?"

" Yes Thea, what's going on?"

" Okay fine, I'll  go with you."

" Go where? Thea, what's going on?"

" William, is it? Thea and I have to go get her parents their anniversary gift."

" But Thea has classes and my name isn't William, it's Walter."

" Yeah sure buddy. Thea does have classes, even tomorrow and the day after that and the day after that. You get the memo, but her parents' anniversary comes only once a year, Willian...once."

" Why are you helping her? You only met her once in the coffeshop. "

" I did meet her in the coffeeshop, and she was very heartbroken I think she was waiting for someone and they never pitched. Surely you've been through that too. Waiting on something and it doesn't come? So I'm just helping her out. Besides, Minny would kill me if I didn't. She's the one who got her parents the gift and I happen to work there-sometimes. Right Thea?"

" Yes."

" So can we go already or do we have to call your Dad and ruin the surprise because your bodyguard wouldn't let you go?"

" No, no need to call Dad. Walter, I really need to do it. I promise I'll be back and I'll text you if..."

" If I kidnap her. I'll bring her back, without so much as a scratch."

" Okay, but if you're not here at lunchtime I'm calling your Mom. And I'm taking a picture of this guy."

" Make sure you get my good side."

" Thank you Walter."

" Just be safe ,okay?" he took my hand and squeezed it.

" I will I promise."

"Not to interupt your little moment. We have to go."

" Thank you Walter."

" It's okay."

Jax made a show of taking my hand and guiding me to his car.

"You do know I have my cane right?"

" Yes but this was much more fun."

"I didn't know you had a car."

" You never asked. Watch your head."

"I'll be fine...ouch!" I hit my head while trying to get in his car.

" Yep, I tried to warn you."

" Yeah whatever, I'm fine now."

"Okay then let's go."

" You know you lied to Walter right?"

" Yes, you went through with it too. It's too late to grow a conscious."

" I guess but what if he calls my mom and you told him I was miserable when he didn't show up at the coffeeshop. "

" Weren't you?"

" No I wasn't."

" You were."

" And where are you even taking me?"
